IGNITE Your Workplace: CPR For Your Attitude
We all know that most staff in long term care really have a passion for what they do and are a true joy to work with each and every day. However, there may be colleagues that aren’t as engaged in their work, or sometimes even contribute to negativity in the workplace. It is possible that, sometimes, you could be this person and not even know it! We all can have an off day (or week!).
This FUN, inspiring, and engaging keynote will explore five strategies on how to work with negative people and “CPR” for your own attitude if it gets infected with negativity.
Desi Payne loves to motivate employees by helping them adjust their attitudes to create a positive work environment. Desi has over 30 years of experience as an entrepreneur, patient advocate, customer service and leadership trainer, and award-winning entertainer. She is also an international speaker with the John Maxwell Team. She is known as “The Attitude Adjuster” and helps employees reduce negativity and stress in the workplace.
